Abstract:

Immediate provisionalization is a critical aspect of implant success, especially for aesthetics. While traditional materials like methyl methacrylate have limitations, such as shorter longevity, poor colour stability, and challenges in tissue healing, recent advancements have addressed these issues.

The introduction of high-strength lab composites and primers for bonding metal, composite, and polymers has revolutionised implant prosthetic options and is also aesthetically pleasing, and tissue-friendly.

Ceramage, a lab composite containing 40–60% ceramic biocompatible filler, is ideal for such applications. Its tissue-friendly matrix and high polishability promotes healthy gingiva and a natural tissue emergence profile. Ceramage is also colour-stable, durable, and designed for optimal load distribution, supporting bone healing and implant protection while adhering to progressive biomechanical protocols.This material allows for quick, chair-side fabrication with minimal inventory.

This program will showcase the ease of manipulating Ceramage to create long-term provisionals or definitive prostheses, addressing both functional and aesthetic requirements effectively.
